Work Wear Challenge ~ Week 1 Favorites

The Work Wear Challenge with started last week and it's been a blast playing along with the girls from the Challenge!! Although I only work 2 days I week, I sometimes run out of business casual ideas to wear to work (I work at a K-8 school). The Work Wear Challenge has given me so many great ideas and the best part of it was, I had 90% of the items already in my closet! If I didn't, I made little adaptations here and there.

Here are my Top 3 outfits from last week ~

1. Black Pants + Polka Dot (or printed) Top + Cardigan + Leopard Heels/Flats ~ I had been looking for a cute polka dot top for awhile and this is one the few items I purchased for the Challenge. I ended up buying it via Poshmark and I love it and will be wearing it again and again!

Black Jeans: Express (exact, similar)
Polka Dot Top: via Poshmark (similar, option)
Cardigan: Old Navy (similar, similar)
Leopard Heels: Payless (similar, flats)

2. Printed Skirt + Chambray/Oxford Top + Pearls ~ I LOVED this combo! I wore it to work and got so many compliments. The pearls dress it up just enough, but then paired with sandals, it wasn't too dressy to look out of place at work. The original outfit called for colored heels (red would be awesome!) which I don't own, but I think the sandals were perfect for my work place. BTW-I purchased this skirt from thredUP (you know how much I love them)! Here's the link to get $20 off your first order: $20 OFF!
 

Printed Skirt: thredUP (option, option)
Chambray Tank: H&M (similar, long sleeve blouse)
Pearls:(similar, similar)
Sandals: Target-Sold Out (option, option)

3. Colored Pants + White Top + Neutral Heels/Flats ~ The original outfit showed a long sleeved white blouse but since temps were in the 90s here last week, I opted for my trusty sleeveless Portofino top. If this isn't acceptable in your work place you could easily throw a black blazer or neutral cardi over the top. Or you could do a long sleeve white blouse and colored slacks (vs. my casual chinos)--just adapt it to your workplace!! I added a leopard belt for fun :)

Chinos: J Crew Factory - exact color sold out (same style)
White Portofino: Express (exact)
Nude Heels: Payless (exact, similar)
Leopard Belt: Target (exact, similar)

Hope this gives you a few ideas for work! Remember, just use the outfit formula and adapt it to your workplace. For instance, I did black jeans because I work in a casual environment, but you can easily just swap them for black slacks/pixie pants, etc if your workplace is more dressy.  I'll be recapping 3 more of my favorite Work Wear outfits next Wednesday! Enjoy the rest of your week! XO
